Chapter 126: Into the Ground
"That's it!" In the northwest corner of the warehouse, Xiao Chen finally found an entrance to the tunnel, and two guards with spears guarded the entrance. There was a triangular area under the two crossed spears, and that was their chance.
"There's enough space between the two of them for us to get through. Xiao Chen estimated the distance between the two guards and said.
"The premise is that you don't go the wrong way, and I don't hook clothes. Luo Ling said.
"So, I'll go ahead, you'll follow, and we'll all move sideways, and we'd rather go slower than make that kind of basket again. ”
The two of them came to the guard, because there was no body to refer to in the field of vision, Xiao Chen gestured for a long time before finding an angle and walking inside cautiously.
Although they didn't breathe in the concealment technique, Xiao Chen still held his breath and moved in little by little, seeing that he was about to pass the test victoriously after stepping over the two crossed spears, Luo Ling, who was holding his hand behind him, did not move.
"What's going on?" Xiao Chen looked back, of course, there was nothing behind him.
"My robe, still hooked ......," Luo Ling said.
"Where's the hook?"
Luo Ling touched it carefully, "The person on the left just raised the spear, changed his position, and the spear pressed one corner of my robe. ”
Xiao Chen took a closer look, and sure enough, the man's spear was slightly higher than the ground, and a small piece of cloth could faintly be seen underneath. Invisibility relied on the magic attached to the body and the surface of the clothes, and the spear was pressed against the robe, naturally squeezing out the magic on this small piece of cloth.
"Hurry up and find a way, I can't get up or squat now. ”
"Cut it?"
"No, it's too much. Moreover, if the circle on the robe is cut, it will produce sparks and flashes. ”
Xiao Chen said: "Then I'll let him move later, and then you run quickly." ”
With that, he condensed his mental power into a thin wire, reached through the guard's neckline, reached his back, and began to scratch gently.
But the guard twisted, and then his body ignited with fighting energy, and in an instant, his spiritual power thread bounced away.
"What's going on?" asked the other guard.
"It's itchy back, it's inconvenient to scratch it in a cuirass, and it's comfortable to go through it with a fighting spirit. ”
Is there still this kind of operation? Xiao Chen was very helpless.
Xiao Chen scratched him again, and was also forced away by the vindictiveness. I tried the soles of my feet again, and the result was still the same.
"Hey, this itch will run away. As soon as the guard exerted his strength, there was a churning fighting spirit all over his body, and he was actually a mid-level warrior.
"Why are you so wrong today, could someone be making trouble?" the other guard looked warily left and right, but found no clues.
Xiao Chen knew that if it went on like this, the other party was really going to be suspicious, so he was ruthless, pulled the filament thinner, and poked it into the guard's ear piercing.
"Oops!" the guard covered his ears and shouted, the spear in his hand naturally fell, Luo Ling took the opportunity to jump forward, and followed Xiao Chen into the entrance of the tunnel.
There were about twenty steps in the tunnel, and the two of them went all the way down to the bottom, and then walked along a straight road.
"Sure enough, the tunnels here were all temporarily excavated. Xiao Chen touched the wall, it was very rough, it had not been trimmed in any way, and there were only some traces of earth-solidifying magic on it.
After walking for about twenty meters, a doorway appeared in front of them, and there were guards on both sides, but they stood very open, allowing Xiao Chen and the two to run in easily.
In front of it is a 50-meter-square hall, horizontal and vertical without any tricks, the hall is only two meters and a half meters high, compared with its area seems very low, giving people a very depressing feeling.
The hall was clearly newly excavated, and the builders hollowed out the middle part, leaving a ring of a dozen pillars around the perimeter, and then used solidification magic to turn the zenith and pillars into solid stones, and then supported the frame made of wood.
On the ground and ceiling in the middle of the pillar, there is a huge circular circle in operation, their centers correspond to each other, but the direction of movement is opposite, and the diameter is about twenty meters, as if two huge grinding discs are rotating. They glow purple, making the cavern seem mysterious and eerie. In the middle of the circle on the ground, there is a white platform the size of an operating table, which is different from the simple style of the whole space, and looks very delicate and complex. It's covered in hedron nodes and silver magic patterns.
Xiao Chen found a location where no one was around, hid behind a pillar, and carefully observed the situation in the hall.
There was a mage wearing a magic robe and hiding his face in a hood, who was controlling the circle, and he occasionally waved his hand to inject a piece of energy into a certain node of the circle to keep the circle running steadily. And beside him, there was a slightly obese old man, who was watching the circle run intently. Behind him, four armor-clad guards stood solemnly. In addition to this, there were more than a dozen guards on the periphery of the circle.
"It's a familiar scene. Xiao Chen poked his head out from behind the pillar and looked.
"Have you ever seen a circle like this? I see that this circle is absorbing the overflowing life energy of those people above. Luo Ling asked.
"No, look at the old man, isn't he very powerful? There was scrutiny in his eyes, and there was arrogance in his posture, and even the guards behind him looked arrogant. Do you feel like the big boss of Party A coming to Party B to inspect the company?"
"You're saying that the old man commissioned the mage to do these things?"
"Although this is a civilian area, in order to make such a big battle, it must need a powerful promoter. Do you think an unknown mage can do such a thing? I don't believe it without the local magnates behind me, and doesn't this old man look like it? And you don't see the white platform, maybe the energy was used on it in the end. The use of people eight achievements is that old man. ”
"But I don't think this mage is simple. Luo Ling said.
"How?"
"There was a feeling that the energy gathered from the crowd outside was too large. Don't you think the white stone platform inside is a little too small compared to those two circles?"
"It's hard to say, let's observe for a while. Xiao Chen said, "However, this magic circle is definitely not a good thing, you look at those characters, isn't it 'life' and 'death'?"
"And the 'spirit' and the 'soul'. ”
At this time, the very powerful old man spoke, "How long will it take to take Demian? He couldn't keep this place tight. ”
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Charging is almost over. "The mystic mage's voice is clear, and it sounds young.
"Your Majesty??This old man is actually the king?" Xiao Chen and Luo Ling were both shocked by this sentence.
